On the last possible day of the year,
I managed to fully documented the rest of the braids I
did this November and December,
as well as my second and third marudai.
The third is something special in itself.

There's quite a variety of braiding represented here.

Silk and cotton, useful and decorative, for me and for others,
I feel like I'm in my stride now as far as braiding is concerned.
In 2009, I hope to try some more challenging braids, or at least
finish up the 16-strand Hira Kara Gumi that's on the marudai
right now.
